ATTN Faithlife: "Quick Buy" still doesn't work properly for Ebooks

The "Quick Buy" button doesn't work on ebooks.faithlife.com the same way it does on logos.com. On the latter website, it bypasses the shopping cart and buys the book immediately. That's as it should be. But on the former site, it doesn't do anything different than the "Add to Cart" button.

I reported this problem years ago before the website was overhauled, but I can't remember whether it was ever fixed and is now broken again, or whether it's been this way all along including with the new website rewrite. I'm also not sure if it's something that other people aren't seeing, but I can document the behavior as it happens for me every time, no matter what browser I'm using.

Here's a video of it:

Bump.

Turns out that when I'd reported this before, Phil Gons replied:

OK, but currently the behavior of the "Quick Buy" and "Add to Cart" buttons on live Vyrso products is identical. Why bother having two different buttons if they both do the same thing? Am I understanding you correctly that they will no longer do the same thing once the final implementation is in place?

The behavior isn't ideal on Vyrso.com right now. It makes more sense on Logos.com. But, yes, this is just temporary behavior.

Well, that was back in 2013. I would like to see this problem addressed.

Bump again. Phil Gons or someone please respond to acknowledge.

The same problem exists on lexhampress.com.

I feel strangely reassured I can't accidentally make a purchase without clicking again and confirming my request. 😀

Then you shouldn't use quick buy from within the Logos application (store view of library) since this works immediately, no confirmation required.

There is a difference between Add to Cart and Quick Buy, as well there should be. Amazon set that precedent with its "Buy Now" (or "Buy Now with 1-Click" for Kindle titles) and "Add to Cart" buttons. People are getting used to it. I'd expect Faithlife's purchasing buttons to work consistently across all their web platforms. But they don't.

I don't disagree. I'm just speaking personally. One click shopping always makes me nervous - especially as I use a touch screen device rather than a computer.
